When he arrived in New York after a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks this summer, Brandon McCarthy resurrected his flagging career and provided the Yankees with ace-level pitching over the second half of the season.

He pitched so well, in fact, that he priced himself out of the Yankees’ plans. Wednesday night, McCarthy, a free agent, agreed to terms on a four-year, $48 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, forcing the Yankees to look elsewhere to fill the holes in their rotation.
